Each CoLab workspace has a Drive menu. Drive is where files are uploaded and stored for viewing, sharing, and reviewing on a per-workspace basis.
Important Note: all users invited to a workspace have identical access to the Drive within that workspace (i.e. all users can access and view all files, folders, packages, feedback, etc.)
Creating a new folder
To create a new folder, click the plus button at the top of Drive and select New Folder. You can create sub-folders by creating another new folder and dragging and dropping it into an existing folder. Sub-folders will be nested under the top-level folder.
You can also create a folder by right clicking in Drive and selecting New Folder.
You can easily create sub-folders by right clicking an existing folder and selecting Create Sub-Folder.
Moving a folder
As previously mentioned, you can move and organize folders in Drive by simply dragging and dropping them in the desired location. Alternatively, a folder can be moved by right clicking on it and selecting Move to. A modal will appear showing the folder structure of the workspace. From here, select the destination folder and select Move.
Opening a folder
There are several ways to open and view the contents of a folder.
To expand the folder in your Drive, click the arrow to the left of the folder name.
You can expand all of the nested contents of a folder by right clicking on it and selecting Expand. Selecting Collapse on an expanded folder will do the opposite.
You can also have a folder take over your left navigation by double clicking on the folder, or by right clicking on the folder and selecting Step into folder.
To return to your main Drive navigation, click the left arrow in the Drive header.
Renaming or Deleting a Folder
To rename or delete a folder, right click on the folder and select Rename or Delete.
Selecting multiple folders or files
To take action on multiple folders, files, or revisions at the same time, you can activate Selection Mode by clicking on the checkbox item in the Drive top menu. This will show checkboxes next to all of your Drive options, which can then be chosen and acted on together by right clicking on any of the selected options.
You can add the selected items to a new package, share to a portal, copy them to a workspace, move them to a new folder, or delete them. Note that the options to share to a portal and copy to workspace are not available if you have selected a folder, and moving to a new folder will not appear if you only select revisions.
At the bottom of the screen you will also see a summary of how many items are selected and a quick button to share to a portal or move to a new folder or workspace.
